Over the course of the last three months, I was encouraged by a few readers to check out some of their favorite series. I gave each of book one a try to test the waters before delving into future reading. Much to my disappointment, my expectations were too high. Shon had started her list in a previous post - Shon's Disappointments of 2015 (view here)I want to add a few of my own...The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

This is my most recent read. The book seems to be popular among the younger crowd and I was curious about the author so I picked it up. The writing isn't bad. The flow of the story is too slow for my taste.The beginning didn't capture my interest and the start was rough. When the key characters were introduced and the story finally fell into place, the book was already ending. At least she found her brother at the end. If through it all, she never returned her brother home, I would have been exasperated. Maybe that deserves +half a star. Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake

Another celebrated author, the story didn't contain "horror" as summarized. Cas is completely ordinary. He does not have supernatural powers. He does not have a group that battles with him. Yet he is a ghost slayer and his mother is a white witch.Cas comes on a chase to find Anna, this horribly tragic ghost that has taken countless lives. And the Creole ghost that ate his father. Without meaning to, he finds friendship in a small town and forms a close bond with them as they help him tackle the badass of ghosts.Ok, the flow of the story isn't bad. I guess I just don't love it. It's hard to wrap my head around a prom queen liking the school weirdo/bullied and a teenage ghost slayer falling in love with his ghost prey. Yeah. The Winter People by Rebekah L. Purdy

The progression of the story is another slow one. In all honesty, I almost wanted to give up on the book but it's such a short book... I thoroughly disliked how carelessly Salome tosses the word "friendship". Very strangely, she catches the attention of three boys and they each want her affection. And she throws herself at all three. Bizarre.You begin to learn there is a reason why the boys are after her and why her emotions are all over the place. But it takes her a very long time to understand these newly founded emotions. She just isn't bright.

Disappointed with these stories, I didn't feel compelled to post the reviews on the blog. But here, I can casually list a few ~ let me know if you feel the same.

Other Titles from this Author:Anna and the French Kiss, Lola and the Boy Next Door, Isla and the Happily Ever After

Krampuslauf by Holly BlackRating: 0/5 starsWhy?!?!?!!?What The Hell Have You Done, Sophie Roth? by Gayle FormanRating: 5/5 starsI really like this story, I have only read one book by Gayle Forman, and that was If I Stay. I am curious to read other works by her.Beer Buckets and Baby Jesus by Myra McEntireRating: 5/5 stars
The title caught me off guard but, I really enjoy this one. It was a cute story. I might have to check out other works from Myra McEntire.

I was over at Ready, Set, Read! and saw that she post her 10 Biggest Disappointments of 2015. This got me thinking about all the books that were a miss for me this year. So without further ado, here are my biggest disappointments of 2015.Hello, I Love You by Katie M. Stout

The plot of Hello, I Love You sound interesting and very unique. (They had me at K-Pop). Sad to say that this book is not for K-Pop fans or anyone who is a fan of all things Hallyu.I gave this 2 out of 5 starsCruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge

I had high hope for this book, the cover art was beautiful. Cruel Beauty was not what I expected it to be. The book was supposed to be a retelling of Beauty and the Beast but it was hard to get into the story. The characters were nothing special. The book wasn't really well written, in my opinion. I can not see myself continuing with the series.

I gave this 2 out of 5 stars

A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

Disappointed once again. A Darker Shade of Magic has so many good reviews, that after reading this book I felt let down by it. This book took me longer to finish than I would have like, simply because there was such much character and world building at the start of the book. At time I got bored with the story and had to put the book down. I will not continue with this series.

I gave this 2 out of 5 stars

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

So many people loved Anna and the French Kiss while I had such a strong dislike for it. There were a few jokes here and there that made me laugh. There were several times when I honestly had to put the book down and walk away for a while because I was getting so frustrated with the story and characters. I'm just happy it is over, and I have no wish to continue to read the rest of this series.

World After by Susan EePublished November 19th 2013 by SkyscapeGenres: Young Adult, Fantasy, Dystopia, ParanormalPage: 320Rating: 5 of 5 starsReview by: Tina

Synopsis

In this sequel to the bestselling fantasy thriller, Angelfall, the survivors of the angel apocalypse begin to scrape back together what's left of the modern world.When a group of people capture Penryn's sister Paige, thinking she's a monster, the situation ends in a massacre. Paige disappears. Humans are terrified. Mom is heartbroken.Penryn drives through the streets of San Francisco looking for Paige. Why are the streets so empty? Where is everybody? Her search leads her into the heart of the angels' secret plans where she catches a glimpse of their motivations, and learns the horrifying extent to which the angels are willing to go.Meanwhile, Raffe hunts for his wings. Without them, he can't rejoin the angels, can't take his rightful place as one of their leaders. When faced with recapturing his wings or helping Penryn survive, which will he choose? ReviewTo the world, Pen is dead. But she survived and her family is returned to her. However, Pen is fearful of her sister; she is unfamiliar with her scars and robotish mannerisms. And her mother is even more irrational in mood and behavior. Who can she count on to watch her back?Separated from Raffe, his angel sword is the only thing that keeps her company. His sword teaches her swordplay and choreography so she can better protect herself and accomplish her tasks. Through her journey, Pen discovers the dark secrets the angels are hiding. What she thought that currently plague the skies and nights as insect monsters and demon children are actually creations by the angels to campaign against humanity.This is an even faster read than book one. Even when Pen is separated from her family and she struggles to find her path, she stays strong and level-headed. I especially enjoyed the creative scenes of Pen's combat. I also enjoyed the scenes when she learns Raffe's heart and true nature and the humor behind each of Pen and Raffe's interaction.

Love the fight scenes. Love the hints of romance. Love the villains. It's the overall package.

It's been six weeks since angels of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world. Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back.Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel.Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl.Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California, they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels' stronghold in San Francisco where she'll risk everything to rescue her sister and he'll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again.ReviewThe beginning is slightly hunger gameish in the sense that the world has gone crazy and it's the end of humanity. The protagonist is a young girl with a non-present mother and a weak younger sister. What strucks me is that this is the closest story to Daughter of Smoke and Bone I have read to date. Fallen angel befriends human, gets into the midst of angel vs human war, and ultimately saves the world/mankind? Both stories were released in the same year. I didn't think I'd enjoy this read so much. Well this is where the comparison ends. The angels are sent to Earth but no one knows for what purpose, including the angels. The angels are fighting amongst themselves to become the next "Gabriel," God's messenger, while the humans are left poverty stricken, starved, and in fear. There are creatures not of demon or human but some hybrid that roam the streets. Political and personal agendas spark everywhere. The angels fight for dominance of Earth and humans struggle for preservation.Very well written and great character development. I enjoyed the depth of each character and eccentricity. I'm excited to see how they will change or act in the next book.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is Top Ten New-To-Me Favorite Authors I Read For The First Time In 2015.

Tina1. The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater - my new favorite author!Just finished The Wolves of Mercy Falls series and now reading The Scorpio Races.2. Rainbow Rowell - I didn't hear about her until October! Fangirl is my favorite contemporary fiction!3. The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa - I have seen these beautiful covers and wanted to give the stories a go! Plus, she has a pretty good following so I'm trusting her series is awesome.Wendy1. James Dashner - The Maze Runner 2. Victoria Aveyard - Red Queen 3. Michelle Hodkin - Mara Dyer TriologyShon1. Marie Rutkoski - The Winner's Curse & The Winner's Crime

Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. Then they betrayed her, and she destroyed them all.Adelina Amouteru’s heart has suffered at the hands of both family and friends, turning her down the bitter path of revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she and her sister flee Kenettra to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army of allies. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers who nearly killed her.But Adelina is no heroine. Her powers, fed only by fear and hate, have started to grow beyond her control. She does not trust her newfound Elite friends. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends, Raffaele and the Dagger Society, want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good, when her very existence depends on darkness? ReviewVery very good. Very very dark.The story develops in a menacing way. Each group is out for their own gain. If they work together, perhaps they could compromise in some way. Instead, all groups twist their knives at one another until there was no turning back. Until there was no one left in the world they cared about. Adelina is even more unstable in this book. Her allies are strong but are they loyal? Again, I wish I knew what went on in Raffaele's head. I want to see more from his point of view.The transition of Adelina turning sinister reminded me of a story called Berserk. Bones, darkness, and death engulfs a person's soul as he continues to kill. Before long, he is the last human alive standing on top of mass graves. Yeah, this story turned real dark. I hope she finds redemption in the final book and gain her sanity.A big plus, the story ends with a big reveal.

SynopsisI am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside.Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever’s survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites.Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it’s Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all. Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they’ve never seen. Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn’t belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her.It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.ReviewI saw this series mentioned several times and decided to pick it up. It took a little while for the story to pick up. There were some subtle sentence structures that makes me cringe and descriptions that I needed to quickly glance over, but overall I enjoyed it. I'm glad this story didn't allow me to compare it to another story. It's unique in its way to stand out. Often times, a particular genre ends up feeling like a copy of another book. All the characters were unique and interesting. Raffaele, the consort, was a very unique character; I'd like to see his point of view from time to time. Enzo, the prince, could be more developed. Adelina and Violetta, are two very messed up sisters. Good story. Good plot. I can't wait to read more.

That’s What He Said Thursday That’s What He Said Thursday is a meme hosted by Chapterbreak.net. Every Thursday post a favorite lines from your book boyfriend to his heroine. Keep in mind these are direct quotes from dialogue in a book.

"Close your eyes," he said. Without waiting for me, he pressed his hand over my eyelids, shutting them for me. I felt his breath on my ear as he said, "I am alone in the world, and yet not alone enough to make each hour holy. I want to reflect everything about you, and I never want to be too blind or too ancient to keep your profound wavering image with me. I want to unfold. I don't want to be folded anywhere, because there, where I'm folded, I am a lie."

This quote is taken from Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater, my current favorite fantasy author. Her words are breathtaking, chilling, and beautiful. She paints a world of vivid imagery that is both captivating and pure joy. You can find my book review here-Tina

So when her beloved sister, Rose, mysteriously vanishes, she ignores her parents and travels to London to find her, accompanied by the dashing Mr. Kent. But they’re not the only ones looking for Rose. The reclusive, young gentleman Sebastian Braddock is also searching for her, claiming that both sisters have special healing powers. Evelyn is convinced that Sebastian must be mad, until she discovers that his strange tales of extraordinary people are true—and that her sister is in graver danger than she feared. (February 9, 2016)

Vika Andreyeva can summon the snow and turn ash into gold. Nikolai Karimov can see through walls and conjure bridges out of thin air. They are enchanters—the only two in Russia—and with the Ottoman Empire and the Kazakhs threatening, the Tsar needs a powerful enchanter by his side.

And so he initiates the Crown’s Game, an ancient duel of magical skill—the greatest test an enchanter will ever know. The victor becomes the Imperial Enchanter and the Tsar’s most respected adviser. The defeated is sentenced to death.

Raised on tiny Ovchinin Island her whole life, Vika is eager for the chance to show off her talent in the grand capital of Saint Petersburg. But can she kill another enchanter—even when his magic calls to her like nothing else ever has?

For Nikolai, an orphan, the Crown’s Game is the chance of a lifetime. But his deadly opponent is a force to be reckoned with—beautiful, whip smart, imaginative—and he can’t stop thinking about her.

And when Pasha, Nikolai’s best friend and heir to the throne, also starts to fall for the mysterious enchantress, Nikolai must defeat the girl they both love . . . or be killed himself.

In life, Breezy was always drawn to the elegance of the universe and the mystery of the stars. Now she must set out to find answers and discover what is to become of her in the gritty, dangerous world to which she now belongs—where killers hide in plain sight and a sinister cult is hunting for strange creatures like her.

Family can be complicated. Especially when skeletons from the past pop up unexpectedly. For American Evie Gray, finding out her deceased mother had a secret identity, and not one of the caped crusader variety, was quite the surprise. Evie’s mom had a secret life before she was even born, one that involved tiaras.

In this modern day fairytale, Evie is on a path to figure out who her mom really was, while discovering for herself what the future will hold. Charged with her late mother’s letters, Evie embarks on a quest into her past. The first item on the list is to attend Oxford, her mom’s alma mater.

Evie can’t resist her growing attraction to Edmund as they spend more time together trying to unravel the clues her mother left behind. But, when doubts arise as to whether or not Edmund could ever be with an untitled American, what really ends up unraveling is Evie’s heart.

The two-bit town of Rogue City is a lawless place, full of dark magic and saloon brawls, monsters and six-shooters. But it’s perfect for seventeen-year-old Westie, the notorious adopted daughter of local inventor Nigel Butler.

Westie was only a child when she lost her arm and her family to cannibals on the wagon trail. Nine years later, Westie may seem fearsome with her foul-mouthed tough exterior and the powerful mechanical arm built for her by Nigel, but the memory of her past still haunts her. She’s determined to make the killers pay for their crimes—and there’s nothing to stop her except her own reckless ways.

But Westie’s search ceases when a wealthy family comes to town looking to invest in Nigel’s latest invention, a machine that can harvest magic from gold—which Rogue City desperately needs as the magic wards that surround the city start to fail. There’s only one problem: the investors look exactly like the family who murdered Westie’s kin. With the help of Nigel’s handsome but scarred young assistant, Alistair, Westie sets out to prove their guilt. But if she’s not careful, her desire for revenge could cost her the family she has now.

Destined to wind up "wed or dead," Amani’s counting on her sharpshooting skills to get her out of Dustwalk. When she meets Jin, a mysterious and devastatingly handsome foreigner, in a shooting contest, she figures he’s the perfect escape route. But in all her years spent dreaming of leaving home, she never imagined she'd gallop away on a mythical horse, fleeing the murderous Sultan's army, with a fugitive who's wanted for treason. And she'd never have predicted she'd fall in love with him...or that he'd help her unlock the powerful truth of who she really is. (March 8, 2016)

Until she awakens to find them murdered and her home in flames. The Da Vias, the Saldanas’ biggest enemy, must be responsible—and Lea should have seen it coming. But her secret relationship with the Da Vias’ son, Val, has clouded her otherwise killer instinct—and given the Da Vias more reason than ever to take her Family down.

Racked with guilt and shattered over Val’s probable betrayal, Lea sets out to even the score, with her heart set on retaliation and only one thought clear in her mind: make the Da Vias pay.

With shades of The Godfather and Romeo and Juliet, this richly imagined fantasy from debut author Sarah Ahiers is a story of love, lies, and the ultimate vengeance. (February 2, 2016)
